ARS ELECTRONICA ARCHIVE – AI LAB

The European ARTificial Intelligence Lab (AI Lab) is a follow-up project to the European Digital Art and Science Network, a creative collaboration between scientific institutions, Ars Electronica and cultural partners throughout Europe that unites science and digital art. The European ARTificial Intelligence Lab follows on from this and addresses visions, expectations and fears that we associate with artificial intelligence. The consortium consists of 13 cultural institutions from Europe with Ars Electronica as coordinator. This online archive provides an overview of all activities carried out during the project's lifetime from 2018 to 2021. It also provides information about the network itself, the residency artists and juries, and the project partners involved. The AI Lab is co-funded by the EU program "Creative Europe (2014-2020)" and by the Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture, Civil Service and Sport.

Women Reclaiming AI (WRAI) is a collaborative AI voice assistant and activist art-work, made by a growing community of self-identifying women. Creating a platform for collective writing and editing the project co-creates an AI that challenges gender roles. WRAI is a response to the pervasive depiction of AI voice assistants gendered as women subordinate and serving. It aims to reclaim female voices in the development of future AI systems by empowering women to harness conversational AI as a medium for protest. You can speak to the evolving voice assistant at Womenreclaimingai.com and see its visual representation (GAN - generative adversarial network) created from a DIY data-set of images of the women participating and other women the collective ﬁnd inspirational. This project is created by Birgitte Aga and Coral Manton in collaboration with the WRAI community of women.
